| Ddisgrifiad / Description | There is a house on Ty Gwyn Road called Ty Aildro, meaning House for the Second Time. The house was built in 1864 as the first Turkish Baths in Wales, offering facilities for six bathers. Four years later it was serving as a Roman Catholic Chapel when Father P. Mulligan, aged 34, arrived, charged with the melancholy mission of closing the district which stretched from Rhyl to Bangor and southwards as far as Dolgellau but had only twenty seven worshippers. He stayed for thirty eight years and opened the present Catholic Church in Lloyd Street in 1893 when Ty Aildro got its present name.
